Methods and basis of charging

99AH Methods and basis of charging

(1) An SEQ service provider may use methods of charging for water supplied or sold by it to its customers the provider considers appropriate, including, for example—
(a) giving an account based on meter readings; or
(b) if the water supplied or sold is not measured by a water meter—
(i) the estimated average water usage of the customers within a group of customers who have similar water usage; or
(ii) another method that is appropriate to decide a customer’s likely water usage.
(2) However, an SEQ service provider must not give an estimated account to a customer for 2 or more consecutive periods.
Example—
It may be a reasonable excuse for an offence under section 99AB for a contravention of subsection (2) that reasonable access was not available to the meter at the customer’s premises.
